I'll take a strange, eerie MB tape over Symphony for a Genocide any day.

This!

We sincerely hope you do not receive this.

The attached document was originally printed in an edition of five copies bound in full red straight-grain morocco, tooled in gilt on the front boards, with marbled endpapers.

These books were then mailed unregistered and with no return address to Maurizio Bianchi, Sterile Records, Come Org, Broken Flag and Flowmotion. The contact addresses used were those from the early 1980s.

All remaining physical materials used in this production were then destroyed.

We eagerly anticipate that none of these packages will reach their intended recipients.

Today, the attached PDF is being sent to five individuals/organisations. After this email has been sent, all digital files relating to this project will be deleted and the device on which they were created will also be destroyed.

Thank you for your unwitting participation. You will not hear from us again.

Email very gratefully received today. The attachment, which after such a sinister and strange message I wasn't sure about opening, is a 73 page book of MB interviews, statements, essays of critical appreciation etc. Some old favourites and some material new to me. Turned into a kind of weird performance piece by the method of dissemination. I feel like I'm ruining this by even talking about it! Not sure who exactly is behind this, but thank you.

It would be funny (and cool) if one of the five uploaded it to archive.org for millions to consume.

Ok, not tapes but my personal favorites are all LSSMB material and "Neuro Habitat" album as close second. However, I find pretty much any release between 82-84 essential even though some of them doesn't differ that greatly from one another. As for (even) older material, I really can't comment too much as I only have UMA reissues of "Atomique Tape" and "Industrial Tape". Liked those too!

My thoughts exactly.

Quite a lot to enjoy from his discography but also some total boring crap. Neuro Habitat best he ever did IMO next to LSSMB but Atomique/Morder, S.F.A.G also stands out as very good and pre-MB Sacher-Pelz stuff is also great.

The V-O-D boxes are worth getting and can be found for quite reasonable prices these days.

For me, Atomique is absolutely essential.

I also very much Industrial, Voyeur, and Mectpyo-Blut.  The second tape, I.B.M. is probably the most similar to the L.P's that followed.

Looks like one of them did thankfully, just found it on Archive here.

The potential millions are so far 13, if I understand the stats page correctly. Perhaps now 14, counting me? Great stuff, anyway. Having at least a little money these days, and thus being back to assembling physical stuff rather than digital, I sometimes forget how awesome massive amounts of digital information can be.

Here it is, anyway:

So how does the 5CD Sacher-Pelz: Mutation For A Continuity stand up in the whole discography?

The few samples I heard are eerie and primitive. (ie Good.)

I know next to nothing about this guy. (The interview to start this thread is rather illuminating.) But this box set looks interesting. (And inexpensive!)

I've never heard the Sacher-Pelz material, but the Mectpyo Box to me is the perfect way to experience MB. Its his best albums in his best period by far (Aktivitat maybe being the only omission I'd add).

A decade too late I suppose, but I will take the time here to say that early M.B. like Cold Tape & Voyeur Tape have really hit the spot as of late.
